Easy To Advise
It is often' so much easier to advlBe some one ,
hew to spend his money, than it is to spend your
own.
You know what the other fellow ought to
spend, but with you it's different. Now any ad
vice we may have to offer will not bo along this
line at all. Our advice is not along the lins of
spending money, but rather in saving it Any
body can spend money, but it takes a wise one to
save it. There is nothing like opening an account
at a reliable bank, to assist you in saving.
Add to the account regularly and you will be
surprised how easy it will grow. Start now, no
matter how small.

BEAVER COUNTY FREE FAIR
The First Annual Beaver County
Free Fair, held at Beaver Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday of last
week, was a good beginning of a per
manent organization .and, while ev
erything was not as complete as it
might have been yet, considering the
times and the difficulties under which
such things are held, we feel there is
no unkind criticism to offer. Those in
charge and. behind the. Fair wbrked
diligently had "without remuneration,
and the mMfter In which they sur
mounted the difficulties which con
fronted them, is deserving of much
praise. At, the beat it la a hard and
thankless job, for the most part, to
conduct a County Fair and there are
expenses which individuals must meet
personally regardless of how1 careful
the organisation may be to take care
of the heeds of the public, but the
Fair just past was an exceptional one
in that respect The public came,
were entertained and it did not cost
them a cent If they were not pleased
they at least were' not paying for
something they did not get
A great disappointment to the peo-
Ele and to the management as well,
ut one which was altogether un
avoidable and not at all the fault of
those in charge, was the inability of
the Army aeroplane man, Lieut
Booth, to arrive. Heavy rains at
Wichita Falls, Texas, from which
point he was to fly to Beaver, pre
vented his coming. An effort was
made to .secure a plane for Septem
ber 28th, the opening day of the
Fourth Liberty Loan Drive, after the
failure to get one here during the
Fair, but the following letter ex
plains why that could not be done:
Wichita Falls, Tex., Sept. 19, 1918.
Mr, Harry D. Trjiax,
Beaver, Oklahoma.
My Dear Mr. Truax:
Referring to the repeated 'phone
talk of yesterday, beg to advise that
I have conferred with Major James
R. Alfonte, commanding officer at
Call Field, and requested that he un
dertake to have a plane for your use
at Beaver on the 28th, but find that
he has received a wire order from
Washington City not to let any more
of the present machines go out for
service either. In training or on exhi
bition teatil .they receive some new
attachments and the major explains
that' these might, be here, in a week
and might not be: here for two weeks.
In addition to thk he ali eiaiUlna
that ha fears'.U,wn4Vaake tea at.
maclnWu-lsff y?a-BeiftKr M aha
time of the year in this enmate.
I regret that .the weather waa
such that the machine could not reach
you on the 17th and ako regret that
it is not going to be possible to get
a machine for you on, the 28th.
With kindest regards, I am.
Yours truly,
FRANK KELL.
The exhibits in the various depart
ments were good. While many class
es were not represented and in oth
ers there was no competition yet, the
stock, poultry and farm products
shown were of the very, best and for
quality, if not in quantity, were equal
to the best The twine exhibits by
M. A. Shuler and P. H. Sebastian, of
Gray,- Ernest Slocum and E. D. Zim
merman, of Elmweod, and by others
was .exceptionally good. L. D. Crav
en, of Mocane, exhibited a splendid
herd of eighteen Herefords from his
Spring Valley farm, and they were
beauties. His 'was the only Here
fords shown. Mr. Craven stated to
the editor of The Herald that, he had
heard other breeders had said that he
could not win if other Herefords
which they knew of were exhibited to
which Mr. Craven replied that if
they really meant what they said and
would bring in(their stuff next year,
he'd promise them a real show. We
trust they will accept the challenge.
Mr. Craven's Herefords looked migh
ty good to us. If there are better
ones in the county, we'd sure like to
see them.
Another year we trust that the
breeders will get in shape to exhibit
more ox tneir stock at the Fair. This
is their Fair and it is conducted at
no little expense to the county. They
snouia taice advantage of the oppor
tunity and be here with a good line
of stuff. In past Fairs the amuse
ment features have been the princi
pal attraction but that is not the idea
or purpose of the Free Fair. It is for
creating more interest in better farm
ing and better stock and as such
should be backed by the breeders in
the different lines, to' the last man.
War conditions rightfully cut out
much oi the amusements but w.e
should boost the Fair just the same
for the material benefits which it will
bring to the entire county.
Altogether we feel that we can say,
tho First Annual Braver County Free
Fair was a success. It was largely
attended, the exhibits were first-class
and the people in general wero
pleased. We hopo to see it grow big
ger and better from year to year and
it will if the breeders and irrowcrs
will get behind it This is their Fair
and we believe they will make it a
success.
The award of premiums will be
published next week, some not being
in shape in time for this issue.
Mrs. Ira Ml Hudson and little
daughter, Marjorie, expect to leave
tomorrow lor their home at Eldorado, .

AMERICAN WOMEN DOCTORS
RECEIVE ARMY COMMISSIONS
Th. "Swffrae. H.ioltaU" Surgaoai
HoaorM.
For the first time in the historv of
the world war women have been
awarded military commissions for dis
tinguished service under fire. This
signal honor ha been conferred upon
three 'American women, physicians
'on the' staff of the Women's Overseas
Hospitals, U. S. A., the "Suffrage
Hospitals," financed by the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa
tion. The women have been awarded
lieutenant' dommiMlons in the
French army by the French Govern
ment Those thus honored are Drs.
Caroline E. Finley, Anna T. VonShoI
ly, and Mary Lee Edward ,of New
Yorx. The fact that it is a foreign
government -that has conferred this
recognitioin on American women
gives the matter international inter
est and significance.
The cabled story states that the
doctors received their recognition for
"excellent surgical work performed
under heavy bombardment" The
French surgeon in charge of the hos
pital at the French front where these
doctors are stationed refers to Dr.
Finley as "a model surgeon."
Mrs. Raymond Brown who was
sent to France by the National
Woman Suffrage Association in the
interest of the hospitals has arrived
in Trance and is giving her attention
to .the installation of the hospital for
the treatment of gas patients. Phy
sicians, nurses and aides have also
arrived in France with tho complete
oquipment for the gas hospital unit
-There are now three units operat
ing in France in the chain of the
"Suffrage Hospitals" the gas hos
pital unit, the military hospital unit
and the refugee hospital unit
Mrs. Brown, in the Paris dispatch,
expresses regret, as do all suffragists
that the American Government docs
not extend the same recognition to
its women physicians that they have
received from the French government
WHEN WILL THE WAR ENDT
The question of ten, asked as to the
probable duration of the war leads
one to the opinion that many believe
"it is all over but the shouting."
There is no doubt as to the ultimate
victory of, the Allies but the end of
the war may not come, for' several
years."- This sounifc Improbable but
named as a peestatet; he te an opti
mist. However, we must fae the
facta as they exist and continue on
the theory that the war will last.
There must be no diminishinr of
loyal effort We should work harder
as the days roll on. Let every man,
every woman and child strive to
strengthen rather than weaken our
work in the future.
There can be no peace until Ger
many is crushed forever. We at
home must work, save and buy gov
ernment securities. Help in every
way possible. If you can't buy Lib
erty Bonds imrot all posible in War
Savings Stamp.'
'BRADLEY ELLIS IN HOSPITAL
Beaver friends will be glad to know
that' Bradley Ellis, of Elmwood, who
was reported last week as missing in
action, in France, has been heard
nm anrl that ha la In a tinanltal re
covering from a wound and is doing
well. While we regret that he re
ceived wounds which sent him to the
hospital yet that is preferable by far
to being in the hands of the hellish
Huns as prisoner and we'll venture
Bradley is rejoicing that he went to
Blightly instead of to a prison camp;
ENTERTAINED AT DINNER

RED CROSS QUOTA NO. 1
RECEIVED
After so long a time the cut gar
ments for the County Chapter Red
Cross Quota No. 1 has at last arrived.
The long. delay 'was occasioned .by the
inability, of St Louis headquarters to
secure materials with which to fill our
order for cut garments and in the
meantime the Branches and Auxil
iaries have had a rest and time in
which to finish up all garments on
hand. Mrs. Frank Maple, director of
women's work, for the county, has
called in the Branch directors and
chairmen for a school of instruction
in the making of the new garments
and the same will be held here Friday
and Saturday. From now on we hope
to have materials on hand so that
work may go .right along,, however,
our sole source of supply is St Louis
headquarters and if they can't furn
ish us, wo are instructed to bide our
time and govern ourselves according
ly. A great part ofthe raw'materlals
have been taken over for the Army
and Navy. After that the Red Cross
comes next andthe, government will
see to it that headquarters is supplied
as promptly as possible so all that is
left for Red Cross workers to 'do hi
to be good soldiers, obey orders, work
under the direction of their proper
officer and know that the work, whilo
it may not coincide with their views,
is carried on in a great business way
and it is not theirs to question or dis
pute. If headquarters has work for
us to do and materials for us. we will
get it If they don!t we ahould not
add to their already tremendous task
by harrossing them with complaints.
We must know there is a shortage of
raw' materials and government needs
must' be filled first, even "before the
Red Cross. That comes next and we
must wait our turn uncomplainingly.
